Reid Outduels Hasay -- Villanova Women Win NCAA DMR Title Lipari-Verdier-Neutts-Reid Set School Record with NCAA #2 All-Time DMR

Villanova and Oregon waged an epic battle tonight in the Women's NCAA Distance Medley Relay championship race. Oregon was a split second ahead after three legs and Oregon's Jordan Hasay and Villanova's Sheila Reid waged a 1600 battle for ages. Reid was able to turn a .17 second deficit into 0.38 second victory by topping Hasay in the final straight. Third place Virginia was 7 seconds back. The Villanova foursome ran the second fastest NCAA DMR of all time, and set a new Villanova school record (breaking the old record of 10:54.34 from 1988).
